00:00Congratulations guys. Can you just take me through what it means to be named
00:03Secondary Teachers of the Year?
00:05It's the most bizarre thing in the world, it really is.
00:09Yeah, no, totally bizarre, because actually none of us, we have no idea who nominated
00:14and actually we just do what we do to make sure the kids come out the other
00:18end with as much as they possibly can and come out as the best version of
00:23themselves. I think I just stole your quotes.
00:25The best version of themselves.
00:26Absolutely.
00:27And it's not a two-person job. This is 50, 60, 70 staff.
00:32This is for Elgin High School.
00:34Yeah, we all work together for success. It's the key to life.
00:37And what keeps you motivated?
00:38The children.
00:40We even finish each other's sentences.
00:43They're a fab bunch of kids at Elgin High School.
00:45They are.
00:46Every one of them.
00:47All unique.
00:49All funny. All different.
00:51And the fact that they engage with us personally, they all know what we'll do for them.
00:58And that's what we all do at Elgin High. Every single one of us.
01:01Yeah, they're fab. The kids get us out of bed every morning and make us come and
01:05find something new and random to motivate them and engage them.
